Is it worth the time?

bump

>>7579065
Yes

>>7579065
You need to read it first in order to grasp Marx, so yes.

Have you read Hegel yet? You'll need him, too.

It's Critique of mercantilism : Comfy Edition.

>assumes Marx as endgoal to all knowledge
fucking Marxists

If you have read some pre-Renaissance and Enlightenment-era pre-reqs and are well on your way to being sincerely interested in modernity, yeah, it's absolutely worth it.

Have read at least the following first:
Thucydides (at least the first book)
The Apology and Republic
Politics (Aristotle)
Either Livy, Sallust, Cicero or Tacitus
Lucretius De Natura
And, of course, Machiavelli. The obvious AND Discourses on Livy

Then you'll be ready.

Liberalism is a spook created in order to impress lesser nations

>>7579065
No. This may be unpopular on here but all you're getting out of wealth of nations is a very rudimentary theory of economics that has little value today outside historical.

If you want to grasp economics just get a modern textbook or take a course. Things like this are an absolute waste of time.

On Marx, as a critique of capitalism is valuable but as a economist he's woefully irrelevant.

And then after Marx read Bastiat and Ludwig Von Mises to cleanse your mind of silliness

>>7579065
Yes. Then read "Basic Economics" by Thomas Sowell.
